Could you elaborate on this? I’m just curious.
While I’m not op, debian offers increased stability over ubuntu and fedora, and that might be enough to make someone want debian
Thank you for answering! ‘Stability’ as in “less inclined to change” does indeed better apply to the standard Debian installation than to either of Fedora or Ubuntu. However, Fedora derivatives like AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux offer similar stability and so does Ubuntu LTS. So, while it does potentially explain why OP may have preferred Debian, it does not (IMO) by itself make a strong case.
From my personal experience, ubuntu (lts or not), has a tendency of nuking itself randomly. It’s happened more than one time to me, to shit off my PC, eat something, return to a broken installation that doesn’t boot. And I’ve got plenty of experience with fedora just not doing things, like mtp, vulkan on flatpaks, I’ve had it crash on login (on x11), and had gnome apps constantly crashing (on wayland). Currently, I’m using debian, and I’ve never had any issues with it, other than outdated packages, which is relatively minor
Thank you for sharing your experiences! While my personal experiences with these distros don’t quite match yours, I do appreciate your openness in this regard.
Just to be clear, it’s not my intent to persuade OP to a specific distro of my liking. Rather, I was interested to know why they would rather troubleshoot their booting issues on Debian instead of returning to distros that have shown to work.
I wanna selfhost invidious. It installed fine on debian whereas on ubuntu make cant find shards even though crystal is installed. I keep getting squashfs errors that stops network access
How did you install it on Debian if you didn’t get beyond boot? Or is this on another system?
Another system but i figured it out
